Great location, couple of blocks from the beach and activity, yet located in a residential block. A short walk from all major attractions and all the restaurants and activities you could possibly imagine. Very attentive staff and a wonderful hotel.

Had a decent stay here. What stands out about this hotel is their front desk staff. Rooms were spacious, apartment style... A bit older and a musty smell (reminded me of the smell of hotel rooms in Mexico). I wasn't in the room much... it served the purpose of a place to sleep and shower. I guess the room corridors...

Rooms need full refurbishment!! Furniture old and worn the walls need to be painted. Lighting is poor in the rooms, very dark all day long! Breakfast improved as the week went on, but still very basic for a continental 4 star breakfast!

Right in the heart of South Beach. Perfect for a fun weekend getaway with friends or family. They had a variety of amenities, although we did not use them. Overall very happy and would most likely return.

The hotel doesn't look appealing from the outside.
The hallways aren't that clean.
You have to lock your room with a key, not a keycard. And when you leave, you have to leave your key at the reception.
The resort fee that you pay is for using the pool of other hotels. They didn't say anything about their own pool...

The Sanctuary was very nice. There was some confusion at check-in, but it was resolved pretty quickly. We would have preferred to check in early, but it wasn't possible. The rooms were very nice---large sitting area and counter for work. The bedroom and bath were nice, comfortable and clean. I was very happy with the room and ambiance of the...

Thank you for your review and your positive comments. Our rooms are some of South Beach's largest and most comfortable, since we consider the business traveler as well as the visiting sun-worshipper. Your $15.00 Daily Resort Fee covers 2 guests, and Continental breakfast is only part of the benefit. 24-Hr WiFi, free rides around South Beach in our electric car,...

Had to change rooms three times because of disfuntioning ty and weak internet connection. Toilett in the bathroom overflowing. Finally had to change over to a sister property. Rooms are a bit to open towards the courtyard.

I am sorry you had such a difficult experience. I understand how disturbing it must be to arrive and find maintenance issues that prevent you from settling in for your stay. Thank you for your feedback which we will use to help us become better.

I stayed one night in south beach on route to the Caribbean. I expected a 4 star quality accommodation, but this place is firmly 3 stars (think Marriott or Holiday Inn). The room was comfortable though a little run down, the service was very average, and the continental breakfast was dire. Seriously, at the very least offer Starbucks coffee!

I am glad you found our location convenient for your trip. Improvements are planned for upcoming months and I know when you return to us, you will be very satisfied.

First: The Staff were very helpful and accommodating from the Manager SharenJoy to the Desk Agent Danasha - both individuals are an asset to the organization. Unfortunately, the hotel room needs some attention from doors that need to lock, lights that need to work, holes in the curtains, broken tile in the shower, etc. Place needs a good updating. On...
